with record of 2:l1 II. Louis Napo-
Icons dam, Hattie Wood, was also by
him. so that the great sire and the
great trotter are nearly full brothers,
both being by Volunteer and out of
Harry Clay mares. 1t will always
be by his daughters that Harry Clay will
be remembered, as he has not left a son
which is either a great trotter or a sire of
trotters. In this respect he will stand as
imp. Glencoe does among thoroughbreds,
whose daughters, bred to the sons of
Lexington, gave the turf some of its
most noted performers, and the cross of
Hambletonian sires upon Clay mares has
been equally happy in its results Mich

and the best stock horse for all uses that
ever stood in this part of the country.
There are hundreds of men that will say
the same, today.
Napoleon Morgan sired the John
Edgerly Horse, that went to Ohio; the
Wheeler Horse, that went to Illinois the
Horton Horse, that went to Ohio; the
Leighton Horse, that went to New York
the Home Horse, that went to Illinois
and the Iatten Horse, that went to Mary
land. All these could trot in , 40 or bet
ter, except the last, and he was said to be
fast; | do not know as to his speed; all
were used for stock purposes and all were
raised in New Hampshire.
''There were a number of grandsons OF
Napoleon Morgan raised here that did
service here. The DR.. Toby Horse was
raised in Roxbury, Mass, and was sole
and went to Maryland. lie was said tC
be very fast. The Henry Horse, grand
son, very fine and fast, went to Penmsyl
yania. There were other sons, grandson;
and granddaughter that could trot il
, 40 or better about here thirty or forty
years ago, but they did not keep the re-
cords or train horses as they do now"
